I like it when I don't have to write anything. This was sent in by Kevin Fogal:

Another great day on the big pond with Captain Dennis Carter and Deckhand Kevin Fogal out on the Predator with up and coming Deckhand Gage Vogler, Kaitlyn Fogal, along with  Laura, Marisa, and Harolyn with full limits on Saturday and  41 jumbo Dungeness Crab on Sunday

Sunday was a much better weather day than Saturday and more boats tried the ocean for crab. The outer bay held, on average, more crab than Ten Mile. Pots in the outer bay were averaging a limit of keepers each on a 4+ hour soak. Even with plentiful crabs the pirates were out. I saw one pot from the outer bay that had the stainless wire netting cut to gain access to the crabs inside. Also, another tip: place your line leads about 20 to 30 feet from the buoy to sink your floating lines. Leading the pot end doesn't work. We had a pot "dropped off" at the boat launch that had the line wrapped around an outboard and came off when the boat got pulled from the water. The pot was returned to its owner, but don't lose your gear that way. The pier had a few crab but was slow, especially considering the number of people trying for Dungeness from it.

  1. Did it have a orange bouy with an address on it. I saw a boat run over my pot by the pier and drag it off.

  2. It had a white buoy with no name, but a fellow came in and described the setup perfectly and the two were happily reunited. He was instructed on proper weight placement.
